It's an usability issue. When you search in Synaptic for 'flash
pulseaudio' or 'flash sound' you'll find libflashsupport. But it's not
installed by default(although flashplayer-nonfree does 'recommend' it)
and can't be found in the Add/Remove program. Should it be made a
dependency of flashplayer-n
I can confirm this. ;)
It's indeed a bit a disguising name to use. If it would give support to more
things that just PulseAudio I'd understand, but at the moment it just gets
PulseAudio to work.
